I’m working on the activity stream, need help!

I’m using WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.6.1
I want to make the activity stream exclude everything but myself and friends.
I know this was already done in another plugin but I want to do it myself and then add it to my BPs core.
I know it’s not recommended to mod core files but humor me please.
What functions, hooks or filters do I need to be working with?

@modemlooper that is a daunting task when an admin has thousands of users. There should be a more automated way to accomplish this feat than manually doing all that. If that is what it takes then it will take a long long time to get the result your after and every time a a new user joins your site you will have to manually add their id again. That is just not logical!

Could you explain this method further because I can see your calling a function but does this function already exist or does it need to be created before calling it? Where would this call be placed? Just curious?

My activity stream isn’t including all the activity on http://www.Drawalot.com. I’ve created both custom posts and regular posts but neither are showing up in the stream. I turned off all the other plugins and switched back to the default buddypress theme but the actity still does’t show up.

I know I should probably make a separate forum topic, but somehow that feature has disappeared for me on this site. I can’t even make status updates. What’s up with buddypress.org?

I already had some code registering my custom post types, but I did copy and paste his record_activity code into my functions.php. I made all, of the necessary edits, for instance I changed the name his post type to the name of my post type. At first it didn’t appear to have made any difference, but then I created a new post type to test it out and it appears in the stream!

Now I’m going to see if I can include the other post types. Thank you for helping me out.
